From Pathfinder Wiki
Different crops pull and add (through the decay of unharvested parts) different nutrients from the soil. Where practical it is a good plan to rotate or vary the crops grown in each spot in the garden from year to year. Of course this does not work for fruit trees and beds herbs that provide a continual harvest, but it is applicable to vegetables and other plants that grow from seeds each year.
